Yesterday afternoon I had a Dr's appointment, I had been asked to attend, so the Dr could talk over with me, that letter from the consultant Urologist at the hospital.
Very nice Dr, new to me, the umpteenth one I've seen! Anyway surprise, surprise the proposed Cystoscopy date had come and gone! So the strong antibiotics I had taken was in vain.. yes they worked and killed off all the bad guys, but they also killed off some of the good ones too, so I had some uncomfortable side effects, but hey ho I survived.
So this Dr is writing back to the Urologist to arrange for me to have the cystoscopy and I will be given anti-biotics to cover me against an infection. Beats me why an investigation that can infect a patient is deemed ok?
He said it is important to remove the possibility of a growth. I asked what will happen when it shows NAD.. No abnormality detected? His answer, it will determine that it is not a tumour.. So it may have the same results as before and I'll just go on from one infection to the next.. not great but at least I'm having something done and if I get an UTI I'll get treatment!! But it doesn't fill me with joy, I think I'll just be one of 100s of women who have recurrent infections for no apparent reason.

I hope you get the health treatment that is successful and that you will not get any recurrence. Happy Wednesday.
It is a very painful and uncomfortable situation that you were in to have these reoccur. Your doctors will always be Dependable from now on.
You've had a time with it with UTI's. I've had a couple of cystoscopies with good results. Yes, some of us have more than our fair share of UTIs without a specific reason.
You have suffered enough already. I pray you get help and a cure!
Not completely reassuring, but at least you're in their sights. Hope you don't have to wait too long, unless you're going the private route, of course.
I hope they are able to find a treatment for you. UTI's are miserable and you've had more than your share.
Sure hope you are able to get a treatment that works.
I've never suffered from this. Knock on wood!!!
